    By -

    I bought this grand Cherokee back in 1999. It turned out to be the most unreliable car I had. The dealer took it back and I will never get a dodge/Jeep again. I think the main issue was with the new 4wd system they introduced that year. It cause many drivetrain issues. Look at all the recalls for this vehicle. My Jeep had all those issues.

  • OK for now - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    66K and four sets of rotors. Two covered under warranty. Window regulator replaced under warranty. Transmission not refined, but no major problems. Vehicle has saved my butt numerous times in bad weather when others had lesser fortune. Would not recommend to others because of poor reliability.

  • I wouldnt wish a jeep on my worst enemy - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    v8 quad drive, every option. Purdy to some, BUT.... Terrible car. "wallows" down the highway like a fat pig. quad drive groans when wheels turned hard, fan roars when cold, front rotors warp at 11k miles, heated seats broke twice. Jeep sales are a trestimny only to good advertising spin. Jeep is living in the past.

    Overall, its a nice looking SUV. The leather seats are quite comfortable. The stereo system is great. The problem is Ive had it in the shop too many times for different things. Brakes, motor in heated mirror went out, one of the speakers stopped working, etc.

    had to replace rotors 3x dealer didnt want to pay any as I was at 12,500 mi. first time and said only covered up to 12K. Spent about 1300$ of my own money to fix brakes and only last about 3 months then need to recut and replace pads or rotors.

    The Jeep left me stranded three times in three years. Electrical problems abound. The transmission was clunky and skipped, and the dealer couldnt repair it. The sunroof often failed to close or open; getting stuck in whichever position it was in. The air conditioning system was unable to cool the vehicle in Atlanta Summer weather. Customer Service is virtually non- existent. Dont recommend Jeep.

    I love my Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I live in WI so the 4WD is put to use when needed. I love my jeep its fun to drive and it fits all of my friends. i do wish i would have bought a jeep with a sunroof and the leather heated seats. but in a year or to i plan to buy a newer jeep and at that point i will get all the options. this is a great buy and i plan to have one for the rest of my life. great SUV not to big and definitely not to small.

  • Bad Brake rotors - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    I recently bought this car used with 51000 miles on it. Its is a great car but all the brake rotors where warped and I replaced all of them. The brake pada where ok and where reused, The milage seem to be in the 16 to 20 MPG range depending on the driving. It has the 4,7 ci in engin with Quadrtrack.

  • Chrysler Sucks - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    After 10k miles started having front brake pulsations. Took to dealer for repair. They turned the rotors. After 5k miles same problem. DIDO. Mechanic said that rotor was at tolerence limit and could not be turned again. I asked to replace the rotors. Chrysler would not authorize that. On 5/13/02 Chrysler service bulletin #0500302 says that for this problem, replace rotors, calipers and pads on all 1999-2002 GCs. It took Chrysler 3 years to admit they had bad parts and would not replace them. I called Chrysler to have the repair done. They said--sorry Charlie, that is a ware part and nothing can be done. THEY NEVER FIXED IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!

  • Carrier and axle bearings - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I bought this vehicle used from dealership with 42000 mi, I noticed what appeared to me the tires singing very noisey. The salesman told me it was the tires. I put new tires on, still the noise was there. ICalled the dealership to find out the warranty was gone with the first owner. I took it to my mechanic, to find out the carrier and axle bearings were completely shot! One bearing was even warped. We were riding on a PRAYER with it being a 99 JGC & only 42000 miles with this kind of problem.Chrysler needs to be more responsible for its products they produce at such a high price.
